Step 7 - Take the Third Manual Hit

For the TP200 Probe Changer, you will take the third hit on the front (vertical) face of the divider and to the left of port 4.

PC-DMIS Message

Please take a hit on the front face of the divider between ports 3 and 4.

The hit should be taken on the lower widest portion as close as possible to the outer edge on the right-hand side next to port 4.

After completing this hit DCC calibration will begin.

Prompt for the third hit

Use your machine's jog box to measure the third hit on the front (vertical) surface of the divider, to the left of port 4:

Location of third manual hit during TP200 calibration

WARNING: When you do this, the machine moves. To avoid injury, stay clear of the machine. To avoid hardware damage, run the machine at a slower speed.

After it takes this hit on the back of the last port, PC-DMIS drives in DCC mode and takes some additional measurements. It works backwards from the last port toward the first port. It actually measures the same three locations in reverse order in DCC mode. Two additional hits are taken on either side of port 1.

There is no specific message to indicate that the calibration is complete. The PC-DMIS Execution dialog box closes, and the Calibrate tab reappears.

The next step is to review the calibration results.
